Billionaire businessman Donald Trump recently sat down with a pair of reporters from The Washington Post, Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, for a wide-ranging and in depth interview regarding his presidential campaign.

One of the topics discussed was that of Trump’s efforts, if any, at unifying the Republican Party following this brutal primary season that has seemingly dragged everyone down into the mud.

Costa asked about what steps Trump would take to present a more unifying presence to the GOP, to which Trump replied, “I think the first thing I have to do is win. Winning solves a lot of problems.”

“I was struck by your comments about Sen.r Cruz (not needing his support). It seems like you’re not working as much as I would’ve thought to bring the party together,” Costa stated.

“I’m looking to win first,” Trump said. “I really believe that once … My life has been about victories. I’ve won a lot. I win a lot. I win — when I do something, I win.”

“And even in sports, I always won. I was always a good athlete. And I always won,” he continued. “In golf, I’ve won many club championships. Many, many club championships. And I have people that can play golf great, but they can’t win under pressure. So I’ve always won.”

Trump conceded that he would likely need to make some sort of effort at reaching out to unify the party at some point, but made clear that such a move would only occur after he had succeeded in winning the nomination over his rivals in the GOP.

Donald Trump is all about winning, and he isn’t particularly concerned about making friends or having people like him, particularly while engaged in a knock-down, drag-out competition for something as important as a presidential nomination.

Perhaps we will see a kinder, gentler, more “presidential” Trump once he has secured the nomination. At that point, we can begin to have a discussion about unifying the greatly fractured party that is in no way capable of coming together right now.

Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to spread the word that as of right now, Donald Trump is more concerned about winning the GOP nomination than attempting to unify the party.
